How to use this worksheet
Read the first question aloud and look closely at the pictures being compared. Ask your child to reason out loud about which object looks heavier, or which container would hold more, before circling their chosen answer. Continue through each question, encouraging them to point at the visual clues — like size or fullness — that led to their answer.
